5 Customization

Once pyconf has generated the files in your project's directory, you should customize them to meet your project's needs.

In particular, you will want to customize configure.ac and Makefile.in or setup.py.in. configure.ac contains a series of macros which are used by Autoconf to build a portable configure shell script. This script either guesses important system settings or is provided them by the user. When the user invokes configure, it uses Makefile.in and setup.py.in as templates to create the Make recipe Makefile and the Python setup script setup.py.
